Oceanography

Hi Rupa,
If you want to pick up the concepts and principles, but don't have time to go back to school, start with the Open University's series of short books on: -
Biological oceanography
Ocean circulation
Seawater
The ocean basins
Waves, tides and shallow-water processes
For people with some scientific training who're curious about oceanography, I recommend: -
Ocean fluid dynamics: Start with Marshall & Plumb's "Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics." There are two supporting websites: MIT's Open Courseware site is at http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/earth.
, and John Marshall's own course page, with cool lab experiments that really get your eye in for ocean fluid dynamics, at http://paoc.mit.edu/labweb/
For geochemistry, start with "Tracers in the Sea" by Wally Broecker, or Harry Elderfield's edited volume on "The Oceans and Marine Geochemistry."
For the deep history of the ancient ocean, try Andrew Knoll's "Life on a young planet."

Wish You Luck!

Hi Manisha,
Oceanography is a particular branch of science that includes the application of knowledge of diverse aspects of ocean and the methods of applying them for the preservation of ocean biography. It also focuses on the efficacy and advantage to human civilization. This branch is also called oceanology or marine science. The study of oceanography generally focuses on the physical, geological, chemical and the biological features of the ocean.

Hi Manisha,
Oceanography is the study of the deep sea and shallow coastal oceans.
1. Biology.
2. Chemistry.
3. Geology and
4. Physics together make oceanography a richly interdisciplinary science.
Although they contain most of the Earth's water and carbon and surface heat, and much of its biomass, the oceans do not operate alone.
Together with the atmosphere continents and ice-cover, they form a working machine driven mostly by energy from the sun. Lesser amounts of energy derive from tides raised by the moon and sun and planets and heat from the Earth's interior.
Feel free to raise more questions.
Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
All the Best.

Hi,
Oceanography is a subject that deals with physical, chemical, biological, geographical and behavioural nature of the ocean. Hence it also includes the study of coastal Areas to make a complete package of expertise study so that the degree holders in this field can handle any type of sensitive issue related to ocean and its impact on the coastal areas.
